The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned on Monday that the risk of drought and disease threatens the residents of Gaza due to the lack of fuel to operate water wells, especially in the north of the Strip, which has been subjected to an escalation in the genocide for about 50 days.
“People in Gaza face a constant risk of dehydration and disease as water wells stop working due to fuel shortages that prevent them from operating,” the agency said in a post on its X platform.
“In besieged northern Gaza alone, some 70,000 people are struggling to access clean water,” she added, noting that “this basic human right remains out of reach for many.”
"The ceasefire must be stopped now," she stressed.
